Generally, the standard accepted limit for CNS oxygen toxicity in diving is 80%. The computer in this case wants you start a dive with less than 40% of the CNS limit having been consumed by previous dives. That would give you 40% to use for a recreational dive. Which would give you 1 hour at...

The Hancock map I have at least goes to 4200 down Mainline and 4170 at the furthest restriction past the Henkle. I've heard that there maybe some mapping that has been performed back there since, but I don't have it, and have never really gone to look for it because I've never been past the...

Here's my two cents for what it's worth. Being deliberate and purposeful with your movement is the right idea, but I think there is more to good diving technique that often gets overlooked. I have found most people go to fast. Slow down. Think of it this way, when someone with good form is...

This is a great story, glad to see kids excel in diving. This is a sport that the legends riding off into the sunset, but to a large degree some of the treasure, sites, and explorations will be secrets kept and forgotten and to some degree that’s sad because I want to pickup where they left...

It’s difficult to answer this question with the information provided and what your future ambitions are. I say that for this reason, it’s been my experience in PA quarries people avoid the bottom of the quarry because it’s cold. That is where the environmental seal is well worth the money...

I’m up for trying all types of new dive sites. I’ve never been to the lake, is it clear or is it a mud pit?

I would like to dive again this weekend! The request is still out there for anyone interested let me know! I would love to dive with you! Still new to the area and getting to know folks!

Randy, interested in diving this weekend? I plan on being there both days!!

Thanks for the reply. The solo card is not the issue for me, it’s the proper solo diving equipment. Most my gear is still with the moving truck company. I really just packed my drysuit, BP/W, regs etc for the trip here and my cylinders and stage/deco refs are on a moving truck! Well when...

I got at least one message about diving in Ohio so in case it isn’t clear, I am in Philadelphia. New to the area and looking for a dive buddy for Dutch Springs!

Anyone interested in diving this weekend? I need to get my first dives in Dutch in. I just moved from the west coast and am used to diving the Puget Sound. My original very was 10 years ago in Ohio and have a lot of quarry dives in Ohio between 2006 and 2008.

Okay the weather this week has been great, and this weekend looks to have good diving weather anything going on relatively close?

Did you do your class and checkout dives in Oahu? Where at? I get the opportunity from time to time through work to get to Honolulu, and it always seems that I end up there in the winter, and don't get to do any shore diving. Fortunately it's not hard to find a boat going out any time of day...

I appreciate this input. I’m not really one to go at it alone. I’m a big fan of SCUBA being social. I have a great relationship with my LDS here and I will miss all the people here tremendously. That being said I’m not philosophically opposed to solo-diving. It has its place. I had been...

I’m fine with the low viz. The Puget sound varies between 20 feet and Brail dives. That site is pretty amazing. It’s good to see that the coastal diving has that much to offer. I’m getting a little more geeked up to get there and get some diving down. I think I plan on bringing at least my...

Fortunately I’m not too worried about warm water diving. Cold water is fine with me!

Thanks, I'll reach out to BaskingRidgeDiver. I'm glad to hear there is some diving off the NJ, DE and MD coast. I've always expected that the water there is far too tanic to dive until you are very far off shore. I'll be eager to get out in the summer off the coast. In the past I've heard...

I joined this site, because Ill be moving from WA state to Philadelphia in a couple weeks. Not sure where exactly I'll be living yet. Almost all of my diving has been cold water diving, and am ready to get back into the rock quarries. I'll be interested to see what diving there in the area...

Hey everyone, I wanted to post and introduce myself. I am moving from Washington State to Philadelphia, PA. Not quite sure where exactly I'll be living yet, other than I will be working in South Philly. I've been diving since about 2006, and almost all of it has been in cold water. I...
